Buying a non-running Boxster S

[leafdude555]

Talked to the seller, he said he's had offers for $5k so he won't take any less than that. I don't think anyone has come to see it in person and inspected it, so those might be offers over the phone from people that are more optimistic.

Might be worth going to check it out and seeing if I can gather more clues as to whether it is IMS or not. Probably not worth the time though as it is in a different city.

Offers over the phone mean nothing. Show up, check it out, and if it looks good, pull out $4K cash. CIF talks (Cash In Fist). Ask him how many people have shown up in person with the money to buy? And those people who offered $5K are long gone to other projects. His reality of the value is not what the market will bear. If he won't take it, tell him if you leave without the car, you're not coming back. Then walk if you have to.
